PRECISION of SCRIPTURE

 

Matthew 7:21-23

King James Version

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 

shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; 

but he that doeth the will of my Father 

which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, 

have we not prophesied in thy name? 

and in thy name have cast out devils? 

and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, 

I never knew you: 

depart from me, 

ye that work iniquity.

Leave it to the HOLY SPIRIT to plant something of GREAT importance in this servant's mind.

This, as I commuted to work yesterday.

This title was His, as are all links to supporting articles here.

If not for the SPIRIT of GOD, I'd still be searching other books, and not taking to heart the Bible.

But when GOD's SPIRIT is in you, things are clear, certain, and compelling.

Your search for absolute truth ends.

JESUS is the TRUTH.

He is the WORD.

And His WORD is final.

1 Corinthians 10:21

King James Version

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, 

and the cup of devils: 

ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, 

and of the table of devils.

He saves us from all the foolishness, and destructiveness, of the world.

The Bible tells us everything we need to know, such as --

JESUS embodies everything that is GOD.

Colossians 2:9

King James Version

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead 

bodily.

He is PEACE.

Ephesians 2:14-16

King James Version

14 For he is our peace, 

who hath made both one, 

and hath broken down 

the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, 

even the law of commandments 

contained in ordinances; 

for to make in himself of twain 

one new man, 

so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both 

unto God in one body by the cross, 

having slain the enmity thereby:

He is LIFE.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

He is LOVE.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

He is LIGHT.

John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.

He is SALVATION.

Acts 4:10-12

King James Version

10 Be it known unto you all, 

and to all the people of Israel, 

that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 

whom ye crucified, 

whom God raised from the dead, 

even by him doth this man 

stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone 

which was set at nought of you builders, 

which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven

given among men, whereby we must be saved.

He is POWER.

Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

The HUMAN heart

 

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man 

receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

We've all been given that advice:

"Follow your heart."

Is man's heart trustworthy?

Does that ensure right decisions?

A born again looks to GOD's laws.

Here's what we found:

Man's heart cannot be trusted.

Genesis 6:5-6

King James Version

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth, 

and that every imagination 

of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord 

that he had made man on the earth, 

and it grieved him at his heart.

Psalm 14:2-3

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, 

they are all together become filthy: 

there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Psalm 146:3-4

King James Version

3 Put not your trust in princes, 

nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; 

in that very day his thoughts perish.

Proverbs 21:2

King James Version

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: 

but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

Jeremiah 17:9

King James Version

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, 

and desperately wicked: 

who can know it?

Matthew 15:16-19

King James Version

16 And Jesus said, 

Are ye also yet without understanding?

17 Do not ye yet understand, 

that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth 

goeth into the belly, 

and is cast out into the draught?

18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth 

come forth from the heart; 

and they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 

murders, adulteries, fornications, 

thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

Only GOD can be trusted.

1 Samuel 16:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, 

Look not on his countenance, 

or on the height of his stature; 

because I have refused him: 

for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; 

for man looketh on the outward appearance, 

but the Lord looketh on the heart.

Psalm 146:5-6

King James Version

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, 

whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, 

and all that therein is: 

which keepeth truth for ever:

Proverbs 21:1

King James Version

21 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, 

as the rivers of water: 

he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 

neither are your ways my ways, 

saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Jeremiah 17:10

King James Version

10 I the Lord search the heart, 

I try the reins, 

even to give every man according to his ways, 

and according to the fruit of his doings.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

Romans 8:26-27

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for 

as we ought: 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts 

knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, 

because he maketh intercession for the saints 

according to the will of God.

Hebrews 4:12-13

King James Version

12 For the word of God is quick, 

and powerful, 

and sharper than any twoedged sword, 

piercing even to the dividing asunder 

of soul and spirit, 

and of the joints and marrow, 

and is a discerner of the thoughts 

and intents of the heart.

13 Neither is there any creature 

that is not manifest in his sight: 

but all things are naked and opened 

unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

1 John 2:27

King James Version

27 But the anointing 

which ye have received of him abideth in you, 

and ye need not that any man teach you: 

but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, 

and is truth, and is no lie, 

and even as it hath taught you, 

ye shall abide in him.

How GOD wants to purify us.

Ezekiel 11:19-20

King James Version

19 And I will give them one heart, 

and I will put a new spirit within you; 

and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, 

and will give them an heart of flesh:

20 That they may walk in my statutes, 

and keep mine ordinances, and do them:

and they shall be my people, 

and I will be their God.

Ezekiel 36:23

King James Version

23 And I will sanctify my great name, 

which was profaned among the heathen, 

which ye have profaned in the midst of them; 

and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, 

saith the Lord God, 

when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

Ezekiel 36:24

King James Version

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, 

and gather you out of all countries, 

and will bring you into your own land.

King James Version

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, 

and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, 

and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

and a new spirit will I put within you: 

and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, 

and I will give you an heart of flesh.

King James Version

and cause you to walk in my statutes, 

and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28 And ye shall dwell in the land 

that I gave to your fathers; 

and ye shall be my people, 

and I will be your God.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

How we are to be.

Proverbs 3:5

16 Because it is written, 

Be ye holy; 

for I am holy.

And if people don't want to listen?

Ezekiel 11:21

King James Version

21 But as for them whose heart walketh 

after the heart of their detestable things 

and their abominations, 

I will recompense their way 

upon their own heads, 

saith the Lord God.

All power comes from JESUS alone.
